hey they be my jeeps..........down here not common ...by law tires have to be covered..cheap easy fix...got the idea on a xj forum , common to you fellas not for us....alot just use the rears.... came of mates rolled tj ,,6 or 7 inch custom ones..
bet the XJ guys have seen it.... do you post there???
Being an former XJ guy, I use to see this alot.... the best looking option is using TJ rear flares on all four corners of the XJ. On the front, they are switched side to side.... a little triming, drilling, and viola.... if you do it right, it looks factory.
yep seen it heaps on xjtalk.com ..jeeps are not that common to set up for wheeling down here in New Zealand.. well not the xj anyways..few tj done.. everything cost twice as much...witch will be 4 times as much now as i own the xj and the blue tj.........anyone want to buy a xj..................................
dude the tj is better having owned both... got to the stage were the next step on it would have been big $$$$..... tj already has the v8, chrome molly goodies in the front ,44 rear....and the cage ....plus warn winch , steel snorkel the list goes on..xj if i had flopped it be had it....this one is for the west coast trips ,but still stuff to do to it first...on a side note ...check ya diff oils after ya wee sitting in the water...
I'm not a fan of front TJ flares on an XJ either. I've only seen one that I liked. The guy had an ARB front bumper and it matched up to the flare pretty good.
I have done it . I used 4 rear flares instead of the fronts . looked better than a empty hole or two marker lights. It takes some work to get it to fit nice but not every one was as fussy about the fit . Plenty of write ups on it . check out NAXJA
love to keep the xj as well but got a wife and well you probably already know the reason its gotta go......had fun in it and built it myself.....tried hard to kill it but na,, just keeps on going...
was a joke bro.... wife telling me to sell it ...blah blah.... dont need two jeeps plus a work ute as well....dont cry for the xj ..she lives , just washing the under side.....
ha ha ha...navy shot bro...... earthquakes I'm smack bang in the middle of the 9500 plus shakes ...2.37am wake up call today when a nice 5 rolled through.......living the dream down here.......have a thread on another form xj one ...what have you heard about them?????
ya gonna have to learn how to turn spanners....save ya self alot of cash...plus its fun....i taught myself how to on the xj.... axle seals , wheel bearings ,rear main seal, trans swap etc... thats whats cool about these forums ..someones done what ya about to do...plus google is your friend....whats the shop chargeing ya........:hide:
